Sheamus, a prominent figure in WWE since 2006, has claimed nearly every major title except for the Intercontinental Championship. With speculations indicating that his contract is due to expire the following year, there’s budding curiosity: could the Celtic Warrior be contemplating a move to AEW to reconnect with an old ally?
During his tenure with WWE, the former champion has collaborated with a plethora of superstars and is presently at the helm of The Brawling Brutes stable. His most notable partnership or faction stint was with Claudio Castagnoli (formerly known as Cesaro) as part of The Bar. Before the era of MJF and Adam Cole, the narrative of Sheamus and Cesaro evolving from adversaries to best friends was unparalleled.
The duo engaged in a gripping Best of Seven series, culminating in a draw, subsequently leading to their alliance as a tag team. After reconciling their differences, they emerged as an indomitable force, securing the RAW Tag Team Championships four times and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship once.
Recent revelations from Fightful Select suggest that with Sheamus’ contract poised to terminate by 2024, the stage seems set for a potential reunion of The Bar and the introduction of The Celtic Warrior to The Blackpool Combat Club. Given his proven aggressive demeanor during his partnership with Castagnoli, Sheamus would seamlessly integrate into the faction.
In a heartening development last month, The Bar shared a reunion away from the wrestling ring. The enduring camaraderie between The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg was palpable, despite representing different promotions currently.
Reflecting on their sustained friendship, it raises the intriguing possibility: could Castagnoli be the catalyst for Sheamus’ transition to AEW? Such a move would not only enrich the promotion with a legendary figure but also open the doors to a potential reformation of The Bar, either as a tag team or as integral components of The Blackpool Combat Club.
